| ''A [[Covenant]] [[CAS-class assault carrier|carrier]] hovers above a [[New Mombasa|city]]. A [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom dropship]] flies rapidly over the city with a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] following closely. The scene turns into a hologram as the camera pans into [[Roland]], who salutes the viewer.'' | | ''Greetings [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]]! I'm [[Roland]], the [[UNSC Infinity]]'s [[Artificial intelligence|AI]]. The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] has cleared you to access a highly classified combat simulation.'' |
| | |
| ''[[UNSC Infinity|UNSC INFINITY]] BRIEFING ROOM''
| |
| | |
| ''[[2557]] C.E.
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': Greetings [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]]! I'm Roland, the UNSC Infinity's [[Artificial intelligence|AI]]. The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] has cleared you to access a highly classified combat simulation. It's based on events that took place during the [[Battle of New Mombasa]] in [[2552]].''
| |
| | |
| ''The scene switches to a devastated street. Two [[Unggoy]] and a [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]] advance through the street as the tank is unexpectedly hit by an explosive.''
| |
| | |
| ''[[John-117]] leaps out of a fire with an [[MA5C assault rifle|assault rifle]] in hand, firing. A [[Sangheili]] is hit in the head by a bullet as his [[Energy Shield|shields]] flicker.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': Six years ago, [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration|a Covenant fleet]] attacked the city of [[New Mombasa]]. Any school kid can tell you that much.''
| |
| | |
| ''Several Unggoy [[Unggoy Minor|minors]] open fire. John-117 tosses a [[M9 fragmentation grenade|grenade]] between the Unggoy and kills them.
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': But many details of that attack were known only at the highest levels of government... Until now.''
| |
| | |
| ''As the Unggoy corpses fly in the air, the camera pans into John-117 as he lowers his assault rifle. A [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee]] flies above his head as he watches. A Pelican fires a missile barrage at the Banshee as it goes around the corner.''
| |
| | |
| ''The camera switches to the [[Solemn Penance]] above the city as several [[SOEIV|drop pods]] approach the from the sky.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': While fighting raged throughout the city, [[Covenant]] forces secretly hunted for [[Portal at Voi|the portal]] to [[Installation 00|the Ark]]. But they were also looking for something else... The operation we'll study today began when we learned the Covenant found an artifact known as the [[Conduit]].''
| |
| | |
| ''Several pods land and open, revealing several ODSTs of Alpha-Five.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': Back in 'fifty-two, we sent a team of [[ODST]]s in to secure the artifact.
| |
| | |
| ''A grid outline covers the scene as the ODSTs vanish and are replaced by a Spartan-IV.''
| |
|
| |
|
| *'''Roland''': Our combat simulation is up and running, so let's see how you do playing through this operation as a lone Spartan. Good luck!
| | ''It's based on events that took place during the [[Battle of New Mombasa]] in [[2552]].'' |
